Pinboard is so beautiful!
I would like to have an image slider / image rotator in the header area.
I can make the slider work but only below the menu and I would like it to be at the top and full size in the surrounding wrapper, if you know what I mean.
Is that possible somehow?
Thanks!Open header.php and place this code above
<nav id="access">:<?php if( is_home() && ! is_paged() && pinboard_get_option( 'slider' ) ) : ?> <?php get_template_part( 'slider' ); ?> <?php endif; ?>
Then open index.php and delete this code:
<?php if( pinboard_get_option( 'slider' ) ) : ?> <?php get_template_part( 'slider' ); ?> <?php endif; ?>
Daniel, thanksn so much. However, that code addition in the header does not insert the slider there for me.
I have it sandwiched like this:
<?php get_sidebar( ‘header’ ); ?>
<div class=”clear”></div>
<?php if( is_home() && ! is_paged() && pinboard_get_option( ‘slider’ ) ) : ?>
<?php get_template_part( ‘slider’ ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<nav id=”access”>Is there anything else I have to do? I switched the header image off because I figured that would get in the way.
Another question: If WordPress get updated, then these changes will be gone, right? So I better make notes of the changes I make to the php files and re-do them after an update, correct?
Thank you very much.
Daniel, this is so cool. I got the slider to work in the header by basically moving the code you said to delete in the index.php file to the header.php file (without that addition “if( is_home() && ! is_paged()”, I have no idea what repurcussions that omission might have).
Now, I stand before the next problem. I had modified the CSS to erase the margins all around my header image:
#site-title img { margin: 0 !important; }This of course doesn’t work for the slider. That would have been too easy 😉
Do you know of a way to address the slider via the CSS?
Thanks again!
I’m not sure what you mean. I tested the theme with the slider above the navigation and there are no visual disproportions.
Sorry for being unclear! I would like the slider to align flush at the top. At the moment there is a 60px white space on top. Perhaps a screenshot will help.
Thanks again!
